    Big bite of the Big Apple

    Texas billionaire's historic new investment will transform Manhattan skyline

    Texas billionaire Michael Dell is gearing up to help reshape one of the most iconic parcels of real estate in New York City’s glitzy Manhattan borough.

    MSD Capital LP, the New York-based private investment firm for Dell and his family, is a partner in a Manhattan project that will raze the Grand Hyatt New York hotel and replace it with a massive mixed-use development, The Wall Street Journal first reported February 7.

    MSD Capital is teaming up with New York developer TF Cornerstone Inc. to buy the property, tear it down, and put up about 2 million square feet of new space, including offices, retail shops, and a scaled-down, 500-room Grand Hyatt.

    The four-star Grand Hyatt is noteworthy for a couple of reasons. For one thing, it sits next to one of Manhattan’s landmarks, Grand Central Terminal. For another, the Grand Hyatt was Donald Trump’s first major real estate development in Manhattan, according to The Wall Street Journal.

    The newspaper says it’s unclear when demolition of the hotel will start or how tall the new structure will be. City and state officials still must approve the project.

    The current 26-story, nearly 1,300-room hotel was built in 1919 as the Beaux-Arts-style Commodore Hotel. In 1976, Trump rebuilt and remodeled the hotel in partnership with the Hyatt hotel chain. Twenty years later, Trump sold his stake in the hotel for $140 million.

    “We look forward to the opportunity to bring a new icon to New York’s skyline and help advance the [city’s] goals for desperately needed new development and infrastructure in East Midtown,” says Jeremy Shell, a principal at TF Cornerstone.

    The Grand Hyatt project is far from MSD Capital’s first foray into real estate. In the past 15 years, the real estate team at MSD has funneled more than $2 billion into three dozen real estate deals, according to the firm’s website. Among those deals were the purchases of two luxury resorts in Hawaii: the Four Seasons Maui and the Four Seasons Hualalai.

    Dell — whose net worth is estimated at close to $34 billion, making him the richest person in Austin and among the 20 richest people in the U.S. — set up MSD Capital in 1998 to handle investments for the Dell family. One of its highest-profile investments is in the UFC, the professional mixed martial arts organization.

    And this isn't Dell's first foray into Manhattan real estate. In 2014, Dell paid $100.47 million for a Manhattan penthouse, setting the record for the most expensive home sale ever in New York, The Journal reported in 2018.

    The primary source of Dell’s wealth is Dell Technologies Inc., the Round Rock company where he’s founder, chairman and CEO. In 2018, the tech giant posted revenue of around $79 billion.

    Rent report

    This Dallas suburb had the highest apartment rent prices in DFW in June

    One-bedroom apartments in Frisco cost $1,630 in June, while the asking price for a two-bedroom unit came out to $2,170.

    In June, rent prices for one- and two-bedroom apartments were more expensive in Frisco than they were anywhere else in Dallas-Fort Worth, according to the latest monthly rental report from Zumper.

    The rent report, which analyzed active listings from the previous month across all cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, tracks the most and least expensive rent prices for one- and two-bedroom apartments, and determines the cities with the fastest growing rents. Listings were aggregated by city to calculate median asking rents.

    Despite having the most expensive rent in Dallas-Fort Worth last month, the asking rent for one- and two-bedroom apartments in Frisco is technically lower than it was a year ago. Frisco's asking rent for one-bedrooms dropped 1.8 percent year-over-year to $1,630, while asking prices for two-bedroom units dropped 2.7 percent to $2,170.

    Dallas saw the second-highest jump in rent prices year-over-year this past June, with rent prices for single-bedroom apartments rising 1.4 percent to $1,450. Two-bedroom apartments in Dallas dropped 1.5 percent year-over-year to $2,000, tying with The Colony for the second-highest rent for two-bedroom units in the metro.

    Rent in Euless went up 5.4 percent since last June to $1,370, which Zumper found was the fastest-growing rent price in Dallas-Fort Worth. Euless also had the largest growth rate month-over-month, with rents soaring 6.2 percent from May to June.

    The top 10 DFW cities with the most expensive one-bedroom rent prices in June were:

    • Frisco – $1,630
    • The Colony – $1,580
    • Rockwall – $1,570
    • Richardson – $1,560
    • Farmers Branch – $1,460
    • Dallas – $1,450
    • Plano – $1,410
    • Euless – $1,370
    • Carrollton and McKinney (tied) – $1,330

    DFW cities with affordable rent compared to the statewide median
    Zumper's report revealed that the median asking rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Texas came out to $1,134 last month, but there was no figure given for two-bedroom units.

    Out of the 25 Dallas-Fort Worth cities included in the report, only five had affordable asking rent prices lower than the statewide median: Benbrook ($960), Arlington ($1,060), Mesquite ($1,080), Garland ($1,100), and Cleburne ($1,110).

    Benbrook rent prices are the most affordable in the metro, as its current asking price is 12.7 percent lower than it was this time last year.

    Asking rents for one-bedroom apartments in Bedford were only $4 more than the median asking rent in Texas, which also makes the suburb a much more affordable place to live than most other DFW-area cities.

    The top 10 DFW cities with the most affordable one-bedroom rent prices in June were:

    • Benbrook – $960
    • Arlington – $1,060
    • Mesquite – $1,080
    • Garland – $1,100
    • Cleburne – $1,110
    • Bedford – $1,140
    • Denton – $1,180
    • Weatherford – $1,190
    • Grand Prairie – $1,200
